Wonder if when this flies they’ll be a bunch of calls to the government, “I saw a UFO”.

"Today's balloon launch window extends from approximately 8:15 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. HST (11:15 a.m. to noon PDT, 2:15 to 3 p.m. EDT). The balloon will take approximately 2-3 hours to achieve float conditions. Shortly thereafter, the test vehicle will be released from the balloon and the test will begin."

If they ever get this saucer to land on Mars, they should name the landing site...Area 51!
